Rc: Chris! v. Ccrmick, C.A. Ne. 06-275-GMS
Elm: Suisse Ltd. v. Christ, C.A. N0. 07-60-GMS
Dear Chief Judge Sleet:
On behalf of Robert D. Christ, I write to advise the Court of a recent event that is relevant to Mr.
Christ’s pending Motion for Default Judgment and Attomeys’ Fees (D.I. 128). As of August 6, 2008,
Elan Suisse Ltd., the plaintiff in Civil Action No. 07-60—GMS, was finally dissolved at Brett Cormick’s
request. (Confirmation from the United Kingdom Companies House of Elan Suisse Ltd.’s dissolution is
enclosed for the Court’s reference.) As the Court may recall, Mr. Christ had sought reimbursement from
this entity of at1omeys’ fees incurred in defending its frivolous claims. See D.I. I29 at 6-7. Upon its
dissolution, however, any assets held by Elan Suisse Ltd. became bona vaccmria and automatically
passed to the Crown under English law. See D.I. 61 at 20.
The dissolution of Elan Suisse Ltd. highlights Mr. Christ’s growing fear that, as time passes, any
judgment against Mr. Cormick and his affiliated entities will become more and more difficult to enforce.
At this stage of the proceedings, the Court already has entered a default against defendants andthe only
remaining issue to be resolved is the judgment amount. Accordingly, and for the reasons set forth in his
pending motion, Mr. Christ respectfully requests that the Court enter judgment against Mr. Cormick and
Elan Suisse International Holdings (USA) LLC so that collection efforts may begin as soon as possible.
Respectfully,
Thad J. Bracegirdle g
(Del. Bar No. 3691)
